-Lapeer Circuit Court 10 in session.
There are seventeen divorce cases to be
disposed of.
The citizens of Centerville have raised

"A muskrat that had strayed from ito
haunts, was killed one day recently in front
Of the opera house in Clare.
A woman near Elk Rapids had rebel
flag lying around her garrett for twenty
years and didn't know what it was, so she
sold it the other day for rags. 1t was
eighty feet long and bore the inscription
Nashville" 1t was supposed to be the
property of the blockade-runner of that
name. A peddler took it to Eastpor.s
where it was exhibited and offered for Sc.
no takers. This was some days ago, and it
has been lost sight of since.
Some time ago an Adrian and an On
sted man traded horses. 1t was not many
days before the latter put in an angry APP
pearance ut the latter's place of business.
The Adrian animal, he claimed, was sick
when the trade was made, and had since
died. He thought he was entitled to dam
ages, and that 800 was about the proper
figure. After some little parley the Adrian
lite paid the money. He was somewhat
surprised few days later, to see the horse
which he supposed was dead, trotting plac-
idsv along a country road, hauling a wagon
and stranger. Mad? Well, rather.
1T is feared by many that the log crop
the coming winter may affect the price Of
the Saginaw Valley product next season.
There will be about so, 900, 900 feet Of logs
back in the Tittabawassee to come into
next years supply, and the other streams
and booms are net situated dissimilarly,
from q comparative point of view. This
fact, added to that other, that a vast
amount Of scorched timber, through the
cut this winter, which it was intended to
hold for future operations, will materially
increase the log crop, and the other fact
that most manufacturers are arguing in
favor of close work and general cu-tail-
ment, while individually straining every
nerve to get in oil they can themselves,
leads to the belief that there will be a good
log supply at last for next season. Whether
there will be an over supply is question
over which there is considerable discussion.
There is little fear of an over supply for
the mill capacity, but whether there will be
sufficient to affect prices next year is the
question which becomes important, but
cannot be answered until the boom COM
panies begin to work.
-Algernon V. Hinckley, 20 years old,
and Mary E. Wiseman. 81 years old, both
Office, at Jackson, and secured license to
become man and wife. They were anxious
that the ceremony be performed without
delay and asked the clerk if he could not
get them a justice Of the peace immedi-
ately. Mr.. Snow, who is always very
obliging, also had curiosity to see the
ceremony performed, and smoothing down
his hair with his hands he stepped briskly
to the telephone and called, "Give me JUS
tice Palmers office quick" The Squire"
was disengaged and, as soon as the clerk
explained what was wanted, seized his hat
and coat and in a very brief space of time
strobe into the clerks Office. The cere-
mony was soon pronounced, and in less
kho,> tan MI, mt tba Nv ~
ley received the license he walked out of
the Office with his wife's hand on his arm.
Clerk Snow then remarked, "The only
thing wrong about the proceeding was that
nobody kissed the bride. Palmer didn't
wish to because he had been smoking, and
there were so many fellows in here that
hadn't the cheek to kiss her, though she
was mighty nice looking girl" Mr.. and
Mrs. Hinckley left in the afternoon for
Vanderbilt, Otsego County, Mich.
About four years ago N. Behrens was
in Jackson and had occasion to borrow $75,
which was loaned him by the late E. A.
Webster. Mr.. Behrens did not again visit
the city till recently, when he came as
Business Manager of Scott & Mills "Chip
O. the Old Block" Company. Desiring to
pay his debt of honor lie inquired for Mr..
Webster, when he learned for the first time
of his death. Mr.. Behrens did not have
S75 in mis- pocket and went to Scott &
Mills, the proprietors of the show, and
asked for the amount which was due on the
salaries of himself and wife, known on the
bills as Miss Marguerite Fish, the "Pixey"
Of the company. Mr.. Scott declined to
pay any money before the regular pay day.
AS the company would be many miles from
Jackson then, and paying and reoeipting
would be difficult, Mrs. Behrens, in her
stage name of Marguerite Fish, went to
Justice Palmer and secured an attachment
on the property of Scott & Mills. Deputy
Evans took the writ and levied on the
scenery and properties, thus preventing the
presentation of the piece. Seeing that the
show was blocked Mr.. Scott capitulatsd
about 8 o'clock, paid the money to the
Deputy and the curtain went up just as the
/ audisnce was booinnino To oct imp afient ak
